“I recently had my transmission rebuilt at Dr. Nick's, and the experience exceeded my expectations from start to finish. The crew was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain the issue with my car. What stood out most was their honesty. They provided an estimate upfront and kept me updated throughout the process.”

“I would recommend this place to everyone I know that needs transmission service or work — the whole process was very smooth. Unlike some places, this shop doesn't try to siphon as much money out of you as they can. They are very honest.”

Shane KiezelGoogle review

“Russ and Kevin are so helpful. We have a fleet of commercial vehicles that we count on for our business. Always responsive when needed for all our transmission related repairs. Wouldn't go anywhere else. 5 stars not enough.”
